Gao Qiqian smiled "hehe" and said, "Lord Ji is really my confidant, and the miscellaneous family really has a few words to ask." ”

Hearing this, Ji Qingwen couldn't help but regret a little - the original arrogance of Gao Qiqian had been suppressed by him, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, if Fang Cai didn't ask this sentence, Gao Qiqian would naturally not find room to interject.

But if he said it, it was like water spilled out, looking at the complaining eyes of Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, Ji Qingwen could only secretly regret it.

But I heard Gao Qiqian take advantage of the situation and say: "That's the case, there is something unknown in the miscellaneous family. I heard that Yuan Chonghuan had previously sold the imperial army's grain to the Mongol Uliangha, and later the Uliangha sold the grain to the Manchurians. But later, the Manchurians invaded the Central Plains by taking advantage of the territory of Lewuliangha...... Tsk, tsk, tsk, isn't there anything strange here? ”

Although this problem is inconspicuous, it is a hidden murderous motive.

Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet who was sitting in the interrogation, had a bright heart, and immediately heard the meaning of Gao Qi's unspoken words, and asked rhetorically: "Father-in-law Gao, you have to make it clear." Do you want to ask Yuan Chonghuan these questions, or does the emperor want you to ask them? ”

Gao Qiqian laughed twice and said, "Lord Zhou, is there any difference here?" If the emperor asked, Yuan Chonghuan had to answer; If the miscellaneous family asks, can you just ignore it? Could it be that there is something in the way of this question that is inconvenient for you to answer? ”

Gao Qiqian's words implied that Yuan Chonghuan had an fornication relationship with the Manchurian Emperor Taiji through the intermediary of the Mongolian Uliangha in Liaodong, and this fornication thief was a major crime to be executed by Ling Chi; And such a big crime, the officials in charge of the trial actually ignored it, so did Zhou and Wen forget to ask, or did they also have any hidden feelings with Mongolia, Manchuria, and Yuan Chonghuan in private?

Gao Qiqian's light and fluttering words were actually murderous, which frightened everyone present gasped, and secretly scolded this dead eunuch in his heart for being so ruthless.

In particular, the Cabinet Deputy Minister, Wen Tiren.

It has not been a day or two since he coveted the throne of the first assistant of the cabinet, that is, he provoked the retrial of Yuan Chonghuan's case, and wanted to use this case to pull Zhou Yanru off the horse so that he could replace him. Therefore, Wen Tiren hopes to be able to deal with Yuan Chonghuan again.

However, Wen Tiren himself knew in his heart that as far as Yuan Chonghuan himself and his management of Liaodong and Qinwang Jingshi were concerned, although there was a lot of fault in them, the credit could not be ignored. If you want to overthrow the former Jiliao Governor, you can only exaggerate his sins as much as possible and minimize his merits in the process of trial. In addition, it is difficult to find Yuan Chonghuan's mistakes in military and government affairs.

Unexpectedly, a dead eunuch was killed halfway, and he actually wanted to lead Yuan Chonghuan's crime to the Manchurian Tartars, this insidious and vicious, even Wen Tiren was willing to bow to the upper hand - who called Wen Tiren is also from the two lists of Jinshi, who grew up reading the book of Confucius and Mencius sages, and there are still some bottom lines morally.

So Wen Tiren rarely stood on Yuan Chonghuan's side and deliberately reminded: "Yuan Chonghuan, have you heard Gao Gonggong's question clearly?" Be careful with your answers! ”

It is now the middle of October, and the Beijing division has already entered autumn, and the autumn wind is bleak, blowing on people quite biting.

But Yuan Chonghuan was already sweating profusely, and pondered the abdominal manuscript in his stomach for a long time, and then said: "Father-in-law Gao, it's like this. The Mongolian Uliangha Department is located in the middle of the Celestial Empire and Manchuria, and its strength is far inferior to the other two, so it can only be a discussion of riding the wall, and both sides take advantage of each side, and neither side dares to offend. Specific to last year's battle of Jingshi, the Manchurians wanted to use Mongolia to enter the Central Plains, and Uliangha didn't have the strength to stop it, so he could only let it go, and by the way, it was already very difficult to send spies over to inform the criminals. ”

"Oh? There is some truth to what you say. "Raise the submersible road," but it's just a one-sided statement, do you have circumstantial evidence? ”

Yuan Chonghuan thought for a while and said, "Circumstantial evidence? Father-in-law, the two armies are fighting, and they pay the most attention to secrecy. The fewer people who know about military intelligence, the better, and we can't leave a piece of paper for the enemy to intercept. Where did the circumstantial evidence come from? If the emperor really wants to find out the cause of this matter, and the next holy decree goes to Uliangha to question, the Mongols may not pay attention to the emperor's will......"

Since Mongolia was driven out of the Central Plains by Zhu Yuanzhang, it has been increasingly divided and declined, and by the time of Chongzhen, the Mongolian tribes that were originally unified under the banner of the Golden Family had already been divided into more than a dozen tribes, large and small. Among them, the Wuliang Habu is relatively close to the Ming Dynasty in terms of position. However, even so, the imperial court can only woo, use, and restrain him from time to time, and cannot give orders to him.

Yuan Chonghuan is well aware of the situation in Liaodong, and his words are indeed very pertinent.

But Gao Qiqian didn't care about this, and twisted his neck and said, "Oh? So there's no circumstantial evidence, right? ”

Yuan Chonghuan became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Didn't the father-in-law understand what the criminal minister said just now?" It's not that there is no circumstantial evidence, it's that there is no circumstantial evidence......"

"Humph! Of course, the miscellaneous family understands, but they can't produce circumstantial evidence, so what's the difference between it and no circumstantial evidence? Gao Qiqian said, and said to the chief bookkeeper of the Criminal Department who was in charge of the records, "Then who, have you written it down for the miscellaneous family?" wrote that Yuan Chonghuan claimed that he had nothing to do with Manchuria and Mongolia, but there was no circumstantial evidence to prove it. ”

The master has handled many cases in the yamen of the criminal department

The experience of handling cases is much richer than that of the serious Shangshu and Shilang of the Criminal Department, so he naturally knows the power of Gao Qiqian's words, so he doesn't dare to really write like this on the transcript paper, and quickly looks up at Wen Tiren, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Wen Tiren, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, although he rarely participated in the case in person, he also knew that these words were obviously intended to put Yuan Chonghuan to death, looking at the confused eyes of the master bookkeeper for help, he thought about it for a long time, and finally waved his hand: "Just record it as Grandpa Gao said......

Seeing that the originally scheduled crime of dereliction of duty was forcibly questioned by Gao Qiqian and became the crime of communicating with foreign countries, Ji Qingwen suddenly became angry, and scolded loudly: "Gao Qiqian, what do you mean by this?" Do you want to turn black and white upside down? ”

Gao Qiqian didn't have stage fright, and replied: "Lord Ji, don't frighten the miscellaneous family. Black and white, everything has to be decided by the Lord Banzai, not that the miscellaneous family says it is black or black, and it is not that the lord says it is white or white. The lord and the miscellaneous family all came to listen, at most it was just to give a wake-up call to Lord Wen and Lord Zhou, and it was not our turn to judge black and white, right? Now even Lord Wen, who is the presiding judge, has no opinion, what does the lord have to say? ”

Ji Qingwen was even more angry by Gao Qiqian, but he didn't know how to refute it, he couldn't help but slap the table suddenly, and was just about to brush his sleeves away, when he suddenly thought that if he left like this, he didn't know what kind of basin Gao Qiqian would put on Yuan Chonghuan's head.

So Ji Qingwen could only endure this breath for the time being, glared at Gao Qiqian viciously, and said, "Father-in-law Gao, we have been trying the case here since early in the morning, and it is almost noon now." It's just that Yuan Chonghuan is not hungry, you adults are not hungry, I am about to starve to death. Why don't we suspend the trial first, and I'll do the host, go out and eat a full stomach first, and then open a court trial, how about it? ”

In addition to Ji Qingwen, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren were dizzy by Gao Qiqian, who was killed halfway, and just took the opportunity to go out to eat to clear their minds, and they all agreed.

But Gao Qiqian showed his annoying side again, and said: "No. Lord Ji is hungry, and the miscellaneous family is also hungry. However, when leaving the palace, the will of the Lord Long Live to the miscellaneous family is to try the case as soon as possible and return to the emperor in time. ”

How could Ji Qingwen have thought that Gao Qiqian, an inconspicuous eunuch, would be so soft and hard that he would not eat, and he became more and more angry, and said: "Okay, you are a high father-in-law, long live with your mouth open, and keep your mouth shut The emperor, but you can skip eating, but the emperor also wants to eat." Even if we understand Yuan Chonghuan's case now, don't we have to wait for the emperor to eat before telling him? You are in such a hurry, if you disturb the emperor's dinner and make the dragon uneasy, can you afford such a sin? ”
